  1. I named my Z The Kid, after the Sundance Kid. I have had my car so long I cannot remember how started calling it that. I must have watched the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid not long after I got my Z back in 1985. But it is still The Kid to this day. My Mustang, Truck and my wifes Maxima have not endeared themselves enough to get a name.
  2. My friend dad had a different saying, "He who hesitates gets peeled". I guess he meant he who hesitates is lost but?
  3. I took my 8yr old. It is like crack to little kids. He is running around the house re-enacting the movie. Just one scene he asked about and as soon as the acton picked up he forgot all about it.. KG78Z
  4. I'll second She Sells Sancturary. Also Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden, Bonzo Goes to Bitburg by The Ramones and pretty much anything by The Sex Pistols. KG78Z
  5. I have a Microtech LT12 on my 280z turbo, L28ET engine. OK long story short the ECU's memory got dumped. Does anyone havee access to the Microtech base map that would work on my L28ET. It is going to take me a month to get one from Ausrtalia. Let me know if you can help. KG78Z
  6. I can't believe I live Pueblo and did not know about it. Notlike it would have changed things since it was my wifes birthday. I don't think racing the Z on her birthday would have gained me any graces. KG78Z
  7. that is the nice thing about being in Southern CO. It rained all day here and by 5 the sun was shining and the Z was out.
  8. I am prepareing to install some 01 Miata seats in my 78 280Z. The hinge where the adjuster lever on the Z gildes attach to the glide sits back and hits the seat pan of the miata seats. My question is, if I cut a cannal for the hinge to move in will it weaken the seat as to make it unsafe? If I do cut one what would be the best way to reinforce the cannal? Thanks as always for the help KG78Z
  9. Some peolpe never cease to amaze. http://customwheel.com/custom_wheels/product_info.php/products_id/1687 Click on the "see them in action". First person to put something like that on a Z should be shot. KG78Z
  10. I have a l28et in my 78 280z, intercooled, with an electric fan. In the upper 90 to 100 degree days we have been having it has been overheating. The fan is working correctly and they tremostat is new. I figure it must be my old radiator not being up to task. Is a stock radiator efficient enough to keep my car cool or do I need to find a radiator from a 280zx turbo, or from another type of vehicle. Whatever will work well and fit relatively easy? As usual thank you in advance for your help. KG78Z
  11. I am getting a L28ET engine installed in my 280Z. It is in and running but very rich at idle. Here is everything I have on my car. HIgh pressure fuel pump, 240sx tb port matched, TD06-20G turbo, intercooler, 400cc ~ 440cc injectors, microtech lt-12 cpu, and stock internal. On boost it runs fine. Off boost, (driving around town), it is running so rich it fouls the plugs. I have read about guys running larger injectors that the ones I have, how do they make them work. From everything I have been able to find out, with a programable cpu you should be able to run these larger injectors. What am I and the shop that is installing the engine missing. I have been in touch with the folks I got the cpu from but not much progress has been made. Thanks for the help. KG78Z
  12. I am stuck on #6. What do yooiu do withthe red x? KG78Z
  13. Fat Tire without a doubt, and New Castle. But like most guys when it get hot enough I will drink pretty much any beer as long as it is good and COLD. KG78Z
